"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

How easy is it to combine cardio and TV?

I'm very lazy about doing cardio. Love doing weights. But always finding an excuse to skip my morning jog and any longer than twenty minutes and im bored out of my mind even with the best music etc.

I watch a lot of TV so it occurred to me that if I got a spin bike or something and parked it in front of the TV I'd be more likely to work out.

But being a man I'm worried if I will be able to do two things at once! IE keep up a decent intensity of workout while also following a TV show or movie.

Anyone else managed to do this with some success?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

High-intensity cardio is better suited to short attention spans, because your body will give out before you get bored. As long as you warmed up and stretched first, and stayed somewhat warmed-up during the tv show, I think it would be more fun to sprint on the bike like a madman, but just during the commercials. While the show is on, either stretch more or move a little to stay warm.

It's not too hard to combine low intensity cardio with entertainment ...

ipod is the usual.

Maybe try a 45 minute incline brisk walk on a treadmill, and have a laptop there. A lot of the 1hr television shows are actually between 42-45 minutes without commercials, so that's about right for 45 minutes of brisk walking ...

I will watch Tv and use my stationary bike to exercise during the a Tv show or two. Its not hard if you have something to distract yourself with.

Ever been to a Planet Fitness? They tend to have Tvs you can watch while working out on a treadmill, fitness bike or stair-stepper and then have music playing while you do the other machines.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I saw something like this at my university gym...

I know some Korean girls who watch Korean dramas, and they bring their laptop loaded with the show and they go on the bicycle machine, just cycling and watching for a good 30 minutes lol.

Put your TV on a music channel if you must - but no guy watches a TV drama or whatever while he is working out - ever.

They tend to gear it to women that only work out half intense or very groggily. I love watching a Tv show or something else while working out because when I not focusing on running if I have to push myself through a moment or two of my side hurting before I get to that plateau of bliss takes over, having something to focus on helps immensely at least to me.

Its usually when I watch my News. Helps me catch up after work or before work on the events around the world. Got to do something while I run for 3-4 miles or bike 25 miles.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You could stand and do squats while watching TV, could be quieter than a treadmill.
